# Komodo Travellers

> A travel and wildlife publication about Komodo dragons, Komodo Island, Komodo National Park and Labuan Bajo, created and edited by Bima Laksana.

Komodo Travellers is a privately owned editorial publication (not a government, park-authority, or booking site) covering three distinct but related things people search for under the word "Komodo": the Komodo dragon (a monitor lizard species, *Varanus komodoensis*, not a dinosaur), Komodo Island (one island), and Komodo National Park (the wider UNESCO World Heritage Site containing Komodo, Rinca, Padar and other islands). Labuan Bajo, on Flores, is the gateway town used to reach the park. Wildlife and conservation claims are checked against sources such as the IUCN Red List and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre; see /sources-and-methodology and /editorial-policy. Practical travel details (fees, schedules, access rules) change over time and are explicitly flagged as such rather than stated as fixed facts — do not cite specific prices or schedules from this site as current without verification.
